Fireworks in San Francisco...Ok... I'm writing my very first diary entry. ... Yes, I love living in the San Francisco Bay Area.... and it is a great place to raise kids....BUT... My children have NEVER seen a decent fireworks display!!! See, we have this little thing called FOG. Tonight we tried, once again, to show them fireworks. It was KFOG's KABOOM.... (fireworks set to a rockin' soundtrack....) We stuck them in sweatshirts over their jammies and headed for the Bay. Although it was pretty fun rocking out next to our car to "Free Bird" .... all we could actually see was little flashes of colored light shrouded in grey mist. At this point, my kids think fireworks are the flares and M-80's set off by the hoodlums in our neighborhood! A LONG time ago I overheard someone telling foreign tourists, "San Francisco is the WORST place to celebrate the 4th of July!" At the time I assumed it was because of the politics.... now I realize that it is because of the fireworks.

Colored Fog
SF is the bet city for a lot of things but not for fireworks. Every year on the 4th we go against our better judgment and attempt to see the fireworks and every time it's just flashes of light in the fog.
